March in Seattle. Â Often gray, often rainy, but dappled with sunshine and color and the promise of brighter days to come. Â The weather today was wild – gray then gorgeous then pouring down rain. Â We made those sunshiny moments count, swinging by the UW Quad before church this morning to check in on the cherry blossoms, which seem to be just a few days from peaking.
We were there for about 15 minutes when the skies opened up and we had to dart to the car to take refuge.  First, though, one quick toss!
As we were leaving church, we got a text from Jack and La Verne, asking if we’d be up for a romp through the arboretum since the skies had cleared again. Â We headed that way and strolled down the blossom-line paths, warily eyeing the gray clouds rolling in while the kids reveled in being outside.
Sure enough, 20 minutes into our walk we felt the first sprinkles and made it back to the car in the nick of time, buckling our seat belts as big fat raindrops pelted our windshield.
Spring, you’re such a tease.
